This business with the tax returns is just the biggest symptom of Romney's "disease": a social AND political tone-deafness that has mutated into the pathological.

Independents may not be happy with Obama's insistence on bipartisanship, or his holding on to so many Bush-era policies (which they made clear by kicking Dems out of the House in 2010). But their memories of the Bush era haven't faded yet, and Romney's basic deficiencies of both common sense AND self-control are reminding them why they decided to "try" Obama in the first place (as illustrated here).

Most independent voters are NOT going to see Romney as an improvement and give him a "try", especially if he continues to refuse to account for himself financially.
